Hey guys who would win between the cobra and m3, im talking about "Top end", low end cobra wins, but what about top end, because ive heard m3's stop end is very good. THANKS!@:)[8D]

a terminator cobra with light mods, (pulley, intake, exhaust, tune) will kill the m3. The cobra's torque curve will destroy the m3

Sorry i forgot to mention im asking for a 2003-2004 cobra vs like an 05 m3

A stock terminator would rip that.

06 M3 makes 333hp 262tq not even to the wheels
03 Cobra 390hp 385tq weighs lighter, do the math

I raced an M5 and tore him a new one two weeks ago.

i know im not a cobra, but i eat up m3's all day long, and i make 398rwhp. most lightly lightly modded cobras i race is tight, so u know who my votes for

The Cobra will annhilate any type of M3 in straight line racing... the M3 has a good shot at winning in twisties, but we all know nobody really on here races in twisties a select few only do...

but you cannot compare the cars... the M3's are incredibly refined.. I would love a M3, and if something ever happened to my Cobra, and i didn't want another one - that's the car I would probably get, just for the all around car.

I don't get why you're asking for all these car comparisons... your asking about all types of cars... If you want an opinion go do some reading.. look at hp, tor, weight, suspension. If you want a Cobra the comparisons aren't needed, if you are questioning your decision - these posts shouldn't effect it. You cannot compare a BMW M3 to any Ford product, they're just built for different reasons..

Funny thing you ask that question... The guy i bought my car from told me as he was selling me his car he was going to buy a m3 next haha. He called me 2 months later and said he wished he didn't sell his car haha.

i wouldnt give up my m3 for a cobra. the m3 actually has a faster 0-60 time than the cobra so take that

Something's wrong with that Cobra or he can't drive. Probably the latter.

A friend of mine has one (with the SMG tranny) and I blowhis doors off every time. Check this out at 1:50. Not my car, but you get the idea....

in the first vid. the m3 beat the 99 cobra

in the second vid, the 03 cobra walked the m3

I have raced 3 M3's... 2 newer styles (the ones with 333bhp) and one older one, and a M6... and none of them were remotly close.. the guy in the m6 just kinda stopped once I caught him after getting straight (I was sideways coming out of a turn)... They really don't impress me when compared to my car for racing, but all around... they are some NICE cars... They handle well and are decently fast for what they are... Like I said, I wouldn't mind having one.

And? :eek:

The guy with the 99 either didn't get "the fix" or he can't drive. Period.

i agree. the 99 cobra should have done a lot better than that.

There are all kinds of comparisons. Im pretty sure you can get more ass with an M3 than a Cobra.

The 99 cobra with the fix will still lose stock 2 stock vs a M3... sorry.

My M3 would give a stock 03 cobra a run for its money. For what they are 03 cobras don't perform as well as they should.

Don't be sorry. I disagree frompersonal experience. They've been close, but I've never lost to one and I know my car ain't a freak.

Then it's driver error... stock m3's can run in the low 13's... N/A Cobras won't...


David... If you're giving Terminators a scare, it's because the Terminator driver really doesn't know what he's doing... the car stock should run in the high 12's... but then again, i have seen them run awful... lol and i know you know how to drive... In the end in straight line racing - you're comparing a 333bhp 200 something lb ft torque car that weighs around the same to a car that dynos at 370/340... it's easily a half second faster in the qtr... but you already knew that ;)

The only Termie I've ever scared was my friends because I got loose on the 1 - 2! :D

01 Cobras and Older 333hp M3s are both mid 13 second cars. Similar weight, M3 has a slight hp edge, Cobra hasabout a 50tq edge. Drivers race at best. As long as the road is straight....:)

the bimmer gets better power transfer... It's faster then a stock N/A Cobra.. not by much but it's faster. I have driven and raced both cars... that's been my experiance.

Here is how it goes... There is a guy that shows up at the street races every sunday and picks races with the 03-04 cobras he has 04 or an 05 m3 with a fat shot of n02 but before he had the no2 i saw him loose sooooo many races. Those cars just arn't built for the straight line. They would beat the na cobras its just a fact just by a little. And whoever says they can even come close to the 03-04 cobras stock you have another thing comming to you buddy m3 will get rocked... As for the chick aspect, most chicks don't know what the heck a m3 is, its justa bmw and u know who drives bmw's and trys to hard to pick up chicks yesss fags... Also chicks have no clue what a svt cobra is its just a mustang and most girls want to own a mustang or a freggin bmw so... We can all just own our mustangs and be happy with what we own...

well, so this is what it comes down to.

2006 bmw m3 will beat NA cobras and Mach 1's that aren't modded that much
but a bone stock 2003-2004 cobra will spank the m3 anyday.

All this of course considering all drivers are equal.

What about the new m3

What about the new m3
The'08 M3 will have a 445lb high tech 4.0L V8 based on the 5.0 V10 in the M5 and M6 minus two cylinders. It makes 420hp and 295ftlbs torque and revs to 8400 RPM. Can you imaginehow sweet that would sound witha full exhaust settup, a V8revingat over 8k! Car will weigh about 3400lbs and the lurchy SMG tranny in gone, just a slick 6 speed and a new dual clutch application. As are allBimmers, this one will be electronically governed @ 155mph. I'm drooling...this thing is baddass. And expensive. What this thing would lack in torque out of the hole against a terminator, it would more than make up for it in mid and top range. But back to the original question, stock for stock the little VANOS straight six would be slightly outgunned by theterminator providing there were relatively equal drivers in both cars. I agree with others that a N/A cobra ( the 320hp ones) would get edged. I've gone against one and they really pull hard as the tach passes 5grand. Some asian guys here in Vancouver (or more acurately, Richmond) havemodded the current 333hp ones to well over 500hp.The exhaust sound is amazing. I love all cars and would be equally happy in a terminator or an M3.

I know the newM6 is faster then the new M3, and I have already killed one ;)

yah i already watched a cobra with less mods than mine beat the new m6 with a v10 on the freeway... As for the new m3 yah thats pretty slick but low tq numbers is kinda crappy lookin more like a jap car if you ask me for the tq aspect only... And the numbers are pretty close to the new audi RS4 that is out... And i just happend to race a RS4 comming home from my base. I raced him with my top down windows down a buddy in the car and all my gear in my car. He had exhaust and a tune and i still worked him real real hard from 90mph to fifth gear maxed out... That was pretty freaky but fun times just to brag to my friend that swears by german cars. lol.
